Abstract
Containerized microservices are increasingly unpredictable due to workload variations. Dynamic orchestration requires intelligent, high fidelity auto-scaling mechanisms to maintain performance and minimize operational costs. However, the current Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscalers (HPAs) suffer from reactive lag, scaling oscillations, and imbalances in node resource utilization due to the reliance on standard resource metrics and unoptimized metric scraping intervals. This research combines maximum entropy based load profiling (for predictive capacity planning) and a custom metric tuning pipeline (to dynamically tune scaling behaviors). The proposed model reduces container overprovisioning and the cluster Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), and maintains Service-Level Objectives (SLOs) for latency. This work finally presents a strong traffic aware infrastructure model that bridges the gap between proactive traffic forecasting and reactive resource provisioning in modern edge and cloud computing environments.
